So who is Don? A Hawaii native, he came to Las Vegas to attend UNLV and enjoy all the golf the valley area had to offer him. While getting his degree in computer science, he spent his spare time becoming immersed in all aspects of the golf business. As a PGA Professional, Don was charged with spotting trends and keeping his pulse on customer needs. 

These trends ranged from the apparel and equipment in the golf shop to the amenities and features members desired in country club communities. Years later, this would also make him a strong advocate for clients considering a home in a Las Vegas golf course community.

After a career in golf, he shifted focus to his web development and technology business, of which he was founder and CEO. In this role, he drew on his natural attention to detail, user experience focus, and deadline-driven project management. Building websites and apps from initial conception through final fruition, he was able to approach each project with a “metrics mindset” and an tech-savvy, analytics-based skill set that translates naturally into his real estate career today.

And for his “Act Three,” Don was presented with the opportunity to branch out to the real estate business and serve clients in Las Vegas with unmatched quality, professionalism and old-fashioned friendliness. Despite the home buying and selling process being quite emotional, he realized it was possible to provide better experiences and customer service through a data-driven process.

Over the past three decades, throughout every industry, there’s been a common refrain: Don is someone you want on your team. He’s honed the knowledge, the resourcefulness and the strong trust and relationships required for a flawless real estate transaction. In a field that requires a true understanding of each customer’s needs, he has become known for his extreme organization and preparedness – while still being easy to talk to, friendly and making the process fun.

Outside of work, Don’s passions include cooking and enjoying wine with friends and family. Golf is at Don’s sports core, with his heart rooting for the Detroit Tigers, Formula One Racing and cycling.
